Rising Food Prices Threaten Obama’s Political Base
The Obama Administration is riddled with people who were either members of the Club of Rome or accept their doctrine
The Obama administration incurred the wrath of US voters in a mid-term election designed by the Founding Fathers to prevent demagoguery or changes unwelcome by the majority. It worked because Republicans were elected in enough numbers to challenge and at least slow down the policies. Obama claims his policies, such as health care, taxation, and financial stimulus are designed to help middle and lower income people. He will undoubtedly continue them. However, as Time magazine cutely explained, “Yes, we can” has collided with “Oh no you don’t.” And the future — including the 2012 presidential election — starts right now.”
This diverted from a growing problem that will hurt Obama’s political base more than any other segment of society.
Politicians battled over social issues and allowed the economy to spiral out of control while a series of events were pushing food prices higher and higher. It affects everyone, but hurts the middle and lower income the most. Historically it’s the issue that brought governments to their knees. Communist governments failed to feed the people. Lenin’s New Economic policy that allowed peasants to own small plots of land was introduced within 7 years of the Revolution as collectivization failed. It was a major reason for Gorbachev abandoning communism. As Thomas Jefferson said, “Agriculture, manufacturers, commerce and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.”
And now… the rest of the story. …..
